(OOps- I apologize for the last (empty) post- don't know what the hell
I'm doing here!)
Hey everyone-
I really felt the need to voice my appreciation at all of your
words of support for me- I have to admit I was pretty depressed last nite
after the attack of the anal butthead from hell (and I thought EVERYTHING
that could go wrong already HAD, as if getting in a motorcycle accident
and a pregnant cat (I already have 7!) in the last couple of weeks weren't
enough new problems added onto the heap!)
You all are very sweet! I feel much better now, and I doubt if
that guy will ever dare to speak up about it- I woke up today to over a
dozen emails of encouragement, about half of which were from people at
Stanford! I mentioned Stanford for identification purposes only, not to
rag on you all, but I thought it was very funny anyway- people very
considerately assuring me that not *everyone* at Stanford was so bad-
especially humorous to me because my roommate is from Bezerkeley. Of
course the first thing he said about the person's rude note was: "Don't
let it get to you, they're just some priviliged Stanford asshole." Then
he smirked, and giggled and said, "Of course, I have to say that, I went
to (UC) Berkeley." It's nice to know the loyalty remains *far* after the
further education wears off! :)
(Before you Stanford-ites get pissed at him- bear in mind, he not only
has lent me *extensive* use of his computer here, he even paid for me to
get my *very own* account (got sick of my email clogging up his account :)
Many of you have also mentioned potential tech writing leads, so you will
of course be hearing from me on those, and I thank you heartily!
Here are some of my favorite responses:
************************************************************************
from my pal Nogy-head (nominee for most articulately-put):
whew..give em hell......
u good net seller..me good customer...me testify..
nogy-head
*************************************************************************
I am sorry this happened to you and I hope it hasn't made you bitter.
You might be interested to know that I recently left Stanford to join the
ranks of the unemployed. John Cage saw our plight as a virtue, and was an
advocate of "one hundred percent unemployment." I can see what he meant,
but it does have its drawbacks, too.
**********************************************************************
Hi! Couldn't resist responding after reading your post. In the words
of (I believe) General George Patton,
DON'T LET THOSE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN.
I would think that in your current situation, the last thing you need is
some one to stomp on you. Good for you for not letting him/her get away
with it. There is always that 10% factor out there...I think you just
ran into it.
************************************************************************
Violet dont let the person who chastised you get to you. Stanford
consists of many pompous asses who take exception to all sorts of
things... including where the sun will come up tomorrow or not!
************************************************************************
...I just thought I would offer a word of support. And also, you can tell
the person who flamed you to bite me. I might even be able to guess what
Stanford person it was (a few exceptionally obnoxious people DO exist
around here, and I apologize for them).
*************************************************************************
PS: I don't see why anyone would think you were a business: "Here we are
at crazy clothing/software/appliance saving center - and everything has
to go!"
***********************************************************************
My personal favorite (I can defintiely relate, although I have no idea
what the cartoon is they refer to):
(in 1st letter):
God, if you haven't slept much, Barney & Friends looks like Gigglesnort
Hotel on even more acid. I want to kill the green female thing.
(in 2nd letter):
And sorry about the abusive person. We're not all that bad.
************************************************************************
Well, thanks again, and I *really* mean it!!! It warms my heart to know
that if life just *has* to be such utter hell, at least there's a few
truly cool humans out there I'm squatting on this planet with! Especially
in net land, where it's so easy for people to remain anonymous, and to
show their nasty sides without fear of reproach (Incidentally, I fingered
his file, so you at Stanford can leave doggie-doo-doo on his door for me!)
<--(A joke). Oh yes, and for the terminally humor impaired/corporate out
there, when I put "Organization: Violet's House of Junk" I was kidding!!!!
(You know-ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha uug, o forget it! :)
Well, thanks again and if I ever get out of this hell, I will have all of
you to thank- my warmest, gooshiest gratitude!
Most sincerely,
Violet the waif :)
ho ho ha ha hee hee ha ha ho ho ha ha hee hee ha ha hoooooooooooooooo...
"It's the Wallace & Lladmo show!"
